good night. good night. thank you for watching. captioned by closed captioning services, inc ♪ ♪ >> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee! [ applause ] >> mike: hello, everybody. welcome. how are you? welcome to "huckabee" from the fox news studios in new york city. what a great audience we have out here tonight. where do we get these folks? keep them coming! [ applause ] newt gingrich led the republican takeover of the house in 1994. can republicans do it again? newt and his wife are here tonight to tell us. also, alina fernandez is not the only cuban exile to be outspoken critic of fidel castro and his 50-year dictatorship of cuba. but what makes her different

is that she is castro's daughter and she is here with her remarkable story tonight. stars of the reality hit "real housewives of new york city" alax mcchord and simon van kimpon have a reality check on parenthood. he is one of the top voices in all of irish music, but his golden pipes might have gone unnoticed if not for a long distance audition. irish tenor anthony kearns is here with us tonight. it will be a great show and you are a part of it on the fox news channel. [ applause ] president obama has often been criticized for some words that he spoke, but frankly he inspired me with the words as an i thought about it. listen. >> my attitude is if the economy is good for folks from the bottom up, it will be good for everybody. if you have a flumming business, you're going to be

better off if you have a bunch of customers who can afford to hire you. everybody is so pinched that business is bad for everybody. when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody. >> mike: remember that? "spread the wealth around." i first heard it and thought it's not a good idea but i missed how great it might be. we have seen the business end of it, goldman sachs, bank of america, fannie mae and freddie mac, businesses reck lestly run and horribly mismanaged. so we took money from good businesses and moved it to the ones that weren't being managed so well. we spread the wealth around in the business world. now i got to thinking about what if we apply it in other arenas as well? not just in business, but say college. all the kids who stayed up all night long studying and preparing for the tests and got a's? well, what about the kids who

stayed up all night martying and they got -- night partying and got "f"s. let's spread the grade around. take the points from the kids who worked hard and studied and take their points and give it to kids who partied all night so everybody can have a "c." that is spreading the wealth around as it relates to college and grades. think about this if we did it in sports. take the losing teams, those that didn't train as well. maybe just didn't have the talent. when they play, we take some points from the team who won, and we pass it over to the team who lost. that way, we have a tie every time we played. instead of the final four, we'd have the final 400 and everybody would feel better spreading the wealth of the points around. i got to thinking about this, boy i wish i had practiced this in the last election. had it been in politics i would have moved some of the john mccain votes over to me. then i would have gotten in the general election and moved some of the obama votes to me.

heck, i'd be president right now if we spread that wealth around a little bit! [ applause ] so what i decided if we are going to spread all good things around, don't leave it with spreading the wealth around. i have a new slogan for america. spread the votes around. this is change we can believe in! [ applause ] well, that's my view. i welcome yours. contact me at mikehuckabee.com and click on the icon that says fox news feedback. mikehuckabee.com. fox news feedback. love to get your reaction. what do you think? should we spread the votes around a little bit? my first guest says america is changing quickly. not for the better. he made headlines earlier this month when he had this to say. >> the president of the gites, the most radical president in american history, has flown down the

gaunt -- thrown down the gauntlet to the american people and said i run a machine, i own washington and there is nothing you can do about it. that's where we are. >> those are strong words. but what should republicans do about it? welcome the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. [ applause [ applause ] >> hey, newt! [ applause ] >> mike: how do you like my idea about spreading the votes around, newt? >> this idea of why don't we become a country where no one has to do much of anything because everybody get what is everybody else does and we can relax and drift along. >> mike: wow made a statement at new orleans, that was pretty bold. the statement was and we played it, president obama is the most radical president in

american history. explain what you mean by the most radical. >> i think that the president heads up a second lar socialist machine. you were giving examples a few minutes ago. the government has major ownership of general motors and chrysler, has put basically nationalized over 90% of the housing market through fannie mae and freddie mac. has taken over the student loan business and turned it into a bureaucracy. every time you turn around they want to take over wall street. in the near future they want to come back and have e.p.a. take over energy. every place you turn they want to take power from the market, customer and individual and centralize it in bureaucrats and politicians. i think socialist is the accurate description for the policies. they clearly have a bias against having any religious expression in public life.

which is why i use the word "secular." they a machine. they display the natural root in chicago and springfield by the degree they operate like a machine. you saw that when they passed $787 billion with not a single elected official knowing what was in the bill. >> mike: that was he markable to say vote for it and we'll find out what is in it after we vote for it. that's faith. i december pute secularism -- i dispute secularism, because it's remarkable example of faith. not just in afterlife but in itself. you mention machine and what has gone on in illinois. this week, explosive information started to come forth out of the trial of rod blagojevich. some pretty interesting releases from transcripts that show that president obama may have known more about the transactions of the senate seat than had been

told. what do you think the pitfalls are for the president and his administration as the details come out? >> the american people deserve level of transparentsy. i don't understand why so much of this stuff is sealed. it was truly apparently a mistake that the pieces have come out that we heard about. i believe the president will have to testify under oath and probably in a deposition in the white house. that puts him in some considerable risk because blagojevich's lawyers are going to go in armed with a lot of information and they'll ask tough questions. for the democrats it's a deeper problem. as the trial starts, everybody in the country will be reminded that from chicago to springfield, you have a system springfield is one of the most corrupt capitals in the country, a machine in chicago and that's the political background of the administration.

that is where they grew up and that's their world. people will learn a lot in the summer. it's clear, blagojevich's attitude if they take him down, he's taking as many folks -- >> he is not going down by himself. he's been on the show and the divisiveness of blagojevich is obvious. more that comes out i'm beginning to think he will be the one who walks and there may be others in deeper trouble than he is. >> or maybe they go off on a journey together. [ laughter ] go back to your spreading thing, spread the guilt around. >> mike: spread the guilt around. spread everything around. i have not seen anything in the transcript that rises to level of criminal activity. unethical, without a doubt. moving to criminal there has to be a transactional conversation. >> i would be shocked if there was anything that was exclusively illegal about the president's activities. i think it's probable that he may not have been totally

candid with the country about what conversations he was in. it's hard to imagine filling his seat in his state in a world where he had been involved that he didn't have some opinion. the same thing is probably true for rahm emanuel who is deeply involved in that. most of that is politics. one of the dangers we have is we're criminalizing things that are part of how the normal daily political operation works. i would expect a president of the united states to have an opinion about who might fulfill his seat in talking to incumbent governor. the fact the governor is about to be indicted and he may turn out to be a crook and it's after all springfield, that is a different set of problems. >> mike: i agree. i think we have created a society if we can't disagree with the person's views, then we try to attack them personally and criminalize them. which destroys the opportunity to have a decent government evolve. we have both been on the receiving end of that as well as playing the game of politics. it's not pleasant and not something we want to --

>> it's also dangerous for the country. think about it for a second. you actually like the president to try to help get the best possible senator for his seat in his home state. the idea he somehow is -- that it is inappropriate for a president to try to help fill a vacancy is -- if you go back and read lincoln for example. he's constantly dealing with governors because he is trying to hold the union together and constantly working out things in order to keep it up. that's what we used to call politics. and it's not, it's not inhelicopterly evil or wrong -- inherently evil or wrong for people to have conversations on how to make things work. >> mike: now we find out what you really think. in the next segment we bring calista your wife and we'll get the real skinny about what newt gingrich is all about when we come back. you want to join us as calista gingrich joins us for the conversation after the break. we'll be right back.

>> mike: back with former house speaker newt gingrich and joined by his wife. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> mike: you're more fun to talk to than newt anyway. you didn't even respond to that. [ laughter ] you know it's true. you are the wife of a public figure but controversial public figure and he says things that sometimes end up on the front page of the paper and can be controversial. how do you personally deal with sometimes the controversy that he creates? >> i know newt worked hard for many years and he has firm ideas about the policy positions. he hasn't waived if you look at the '80s and '90s. the thing he believes in are things he always believed in. you have to look at the positive. i believe in what he does and you have to block out the negative. if you look for it, it's out there. you have to ignore it. >> mike: calista, there is no

way i expect you to give me the answer or newt as to is newt going to run for president in 2012 because that would be ridiculous that you would announce it on my show. it would be the best forum in which you could announce it but i'm not expecting that today. i am asking this, as you work through the process, many people are encouraging newt because of his background. he is one of the few people that understands the historical context of the country and he has led in a remarkable moment of american history in terms of a transition. i can give a lot of reasons why he would be phenomenal candidate. that is a personal decision. what has to happen for you to say to newt, this is a great idea, let's do it? >> in the next few months it would have to be obvious to both of us that it was necessary. we are blessed to see many people come up to us and be positive and encourage newt to run. we need to talk through the process and by early next

year we'll know if it's a reality. >> mike: newt, i want you and calista to talk about a project you've been involved in. you did a number of documentaries but this is about pope john paul ii and the remarkable impact he has on the country. why select his life and what do you think the message is from pope john paul ii for all of us? >> we wered will to do this because we were filming a movie about ronald reagan. we left prague and both said the key moment before reagan was elected was a year earlier when pope john paul ii went back to his native poland and for nine days led a pilgrimage and a third of the people in poland came and were with him. from that point on they never backed off for ten years until they won the freedom and independent.

calista is half polish. the sense we both got was we had to do this film. it's been an amazing project. nine days to change the world is true. his impact, his emotional, moral, intellectual impact i think was a key factor and other people said was a key factor in eliminating the soviet umpire peacefully, in a way that is nothing short of a miracle. >> i hope people go to the screen. we have address to get the dvd. tell me, if there was one thing you wished all of us knew about pope john paul ii we might not know, what is that? >> one messages in the movie that we want to resonate is there is no state or government that stands between you and god. >> mike: powerful. say it again. >> there is no state of government that can stand between you and god. >> mike: wow. because becaubecau

[ applause ] >> our true freedom can only be found through our faith, achieved and sustained through our faith. >> mike: very powerful. i hope that people will get the movie. "nine days that changed the world." powerful depiction of the life of john paul ii. newt and i were visiting last night. i want to share with you something that deeply touched me, a quote attributed to pope john paul ii. he was being interview and asked why doesn't the church accommodate the moray of the culture, related to marriage or the sanctity of life or a host of thing. the question was why doesn't the church just change its standards to be more relevant? without frifrming he said, "my son, the church is the standard." for his convictions, the fact he knew what he believed and why, one of the remarkable

people. not just of the 20th century but perhaps of human history. thank you for sharing the remark i believe store of him with us. we're delighted to have you here. let me say when we come back, we'll talk about freedom in a way that, well, very few people have seen it up front and close as our next guest. alina fernandez, daughter of fidel castro joins me after the break. stay with us.

on the huckabee report. he is no longer the official leader of cuba handing over the duties to to his younger brother raul two years ago but he will go down as one of the most notorious dictator in history. >> he arrived in the street of havana hailed as a hero after leading guerilla revolution that overthrow the country's u.s.-backed government in 1959. soon after taking power, fidel castro who claimed to fight for the little guy turned into a radical military dictator. and established soviet style control of government and the economy. the united states government for seeing a threat, backed the failed attempt of cuban exiles to overthrow them in the bay of pigs invasion. castro established a communist state and the relationship with the soviet union let to some of the most tense times of the 20th century, as the cuban missile crisis brought the world on the verge of nuclear war.

as he continued to build his power, castro put an end to democratic election and took away people's personal freedoms. building schools and increasing literacy, he socialized medicine, put an end to free press, abolished religion and silenced those who dared to oppose his policies by executing, jailing and forcing them to leave the country. hundreds of thousands of cubans risked their lives fleeing cucuba, mostly to the shores of florida 90 miles away. >> mike: one of the brave people who disescape fidel castro's rule is his own daughter, now outspoken critic of many of her father's policies. welcome alina fernandez. alina, pleasure have you here. thank you for joining us.

shy, tender person. >> mike: you don't even think of fidel castro as being shy. but you obviously at the same time knowing this man would come to your house, there were policious saw in cuba, how did you deal with some of the things, the shortages? did you come to a place you say hey, this isn't working out real well? >> one of my first reading letters that people handed me to give it to him. so i started reading real tragedies since i was a small child. that's the first experience i had with the other side of the story in cuba. the letters that people gave me for me to give it to him. and i read the way they had parents executed, they had people in jail. victims. >> mike: at what point did you start saying i think i need to get out of there? >> you don't have a political conscience or anything like that, but you feel uncomfortable and you think

it's not right. i think i felt that since i was adolescent, 11, 12 years old. >> mike: you started saying i want to get out of cue back. did you want to come to the united states at that time or did you want to go to europe? >> anywhere! >> mike: where did you think you'd find freedom? >> anywhere. anywhere but cuba. this is the best country i've ever been.

does it sometimes seem absurd to you that someone who wants freedom and wants to live a free life has to get their feet on dry land to be given asylum? >> yeah, that was president clinton's idea, because the only problem that u.s. deals with cuba, anytime they send 100,000 people in a week to the united states, it happened to him. he had to relocate all cuba in bay and since then we had this policy, which is unfair and sad. >> tell me what your freedom means to you. you lived in a communist regime under your father and you lived in the united states since 1993. what is the greatest thing that freedom means to you? >> everything. even if you have to learn to risk it for freedom but the most important thing in life. the possibility of making choices, giving your children alternatives for them to make

choices also. i think that is what freedom is. >> mike: you obviously had a strained relationship with your father fidel castro. has there been any communication since you left? >> no. because you cannot leave in double emotional standard. you have to decide. not good for emotional. i'm more cuban than exile or daughter of anybody. >> mike: as i got to know members of the cuban-american community in miami area where you live, i don't know of any group of americans in the united states that love freedom more or that are more grateful or passionate about freedom. i think it's one of the most lovely communities in this nation. i love the cuban-americans of that area, because of their passion for freedom. do you sense that sometimes we as americans take for granted this great liberty we have? >> you take for granted so many things. >> mike: yes, we do. >> mm-hmm. >> mike: if you could say something to your father today, what would you like
